"Can we have a general convo about PC Culture / Cancel Culture?"
Thu Aug-29-19 06:06 PM by Damali

          

I actually have three very specific questions:


1. What is PC or Cancel Culture?

2. Who exactly has PC/Cancel culture actually harmed?

3. What are the specific losses they have suffered?

I really want to parse this out because these terms get thrown around so much so we should probably all know what we are each really talking about here.
